Abstract
A method of treating an eye includes delivering an OCT beam along an OCT optical path that enters a first optical subsystem along an input axis, and exits the first optical subsystem along an output axis that: 1) is substantially parallel to the optical axis of the eye, 2) is radially offset from the optical axis, and 3) extends through the cornea and into a portion of the irido-corneal angle at a point along a circumferential angle of the eye. The method also includes imaging the portion of the irido-corneal angle with the OCT beam; delivering a laser beam along an angled optical path that extends through the first optical subsystem, through the cornea, through the anterior chamber, and into a target volume of ocular tissue in the portion of the irido-corneal angle; and photodisrupting at least a portion of the target volume of ocular tissue with the laser beam.
